Current turned strong and we had to just drift with it and not swim against it per good diving practices.

All the good ones do.

Back to the original question; can the AquaLung/US Divers brand(s) rise, Phoenix-like from the ashes, or are they done whether they know it or not?

Good question. I sure hope that all will be fine and good soon. It will be a most terrible thing for the diving industry if it didn't end well.

My dive shop says they are able to get some stock and parts kits again but I don’t know if that means they are just freeing up old stock that was frozen in a warehouse somewhere, or if they are actually manufacturing new stuff.

That’s an unknown. An LDS here still sells AL/Apeks. Another one is going all-in with Scubapro and clearing out their Aqualung rental fleet. Costco hasn’t carried US Divers snorkeling sets in a while - I have a feeling they’ll have IST do a road show at stores with high scuba participation(SoCal/Florida).

Which LDS is dumping all Aqualung and going all-in with SP?
Just curious since you’re Bay Area.

It’s one in Concord - they’re a Scubapro Platinum dealer. All their AL rental stuff is up for sale.

Somebody is smelling blood and turning to go in for the kill
